===Ideas===
 
This page is for sharing ideas about playing / practicing, particularly for making practicing fun or enjoyable. Explore enjoying the sounds of the music your instrument generates.

Here are some developing, online, Music Playing Spaces, that are free and open:

Try to play / practice at least 20 minutes a day, per instrument, or sing, - with enjoyment, and socially some of the time. Explore in your playing music-making communicatively, e.g. a grandmother plays 'Pop goes the weasel' on her violin and her 5 year granddaughter plays the 'pop' sound on her own little violin, and hears this, makes music and loves it; extend this.

"Recording became a habit and I have pretty much kept the recorder running for over 30 years." (PM Jack Lee - http://www.leeandsonsbagpipes.com/news/ - who has won every major prize in solo and pipeband bagpiping) ... seems like a good practice when learning and practicing the bagpipe, or practice chanter (http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/Bagpipe_Tutorials), and or instrument (see the Music School at WUaS - http://worlduniversity.wikia.com/wiki/World_University_Music_School). I'm going to begin this practice - just got a new hard drive with more disk space :)

I've found there to be little frustrations when learning a musical instrument, and that returning to the relaxation response, or the neurophysiology (release) of soaking in the Harbin Hot Springs' warm pool at about body temperature, and / or a regular meditation practice to be helpful, as a kind of bodymind basis to return home to, and from which even to play.
Find a way to get paid money for playing/practicing. For example, if you join a police bagpipe band, as well as the police, in Scotland, you may get paid for bagpiping, and possibly as much as 2 hours per day (in addition to the other aspects of this job).
